Home & photos
I don't have a digital camera, my scanner is on another system, I live in the U.S.A., and I think the text version adequate for 1000 word explanations considering file sizes. If we want to help clean up the web, (good luck!), minimizing the clutter of data intensive graphic and audio toy trash would go a long way. (Not kidding)

Well I don't have a picture of where my computers are yet...Were re-doing the home office. Yet being as I'm new here I figured I would go ahead and post a picture of me anyways.
This is me and my son the day after he was born...
Interesting it won't allow me to post the URL from my online storage.

Real time revisited
If you've never run a server and watched the traffic, you'd have no idea of the volume of clutter especially SPAM and wasteful advertising that chokes the system with time and resource waste. Even in the early days of online data transfer, browsers and operating systems were written with an over redundancy which many operators complained about. These feature rich packages were costing time, effort, accuracy, and efficiency. Take a tour through MS's l-o-n-g list of patches, fixes, and tweaks on their gigunda website, and you get the sincere impression that the dragon will never quit chasing it's tail.
Just because DOS was too cryptic or stoic about it's returns during operation, was a poor excuse to swing to the opposite extreme of here is everything you never thought you'd you need.
How many version upgrades are ther in the average application required to keep up with the changes of 'progress'? A Model T Ford will run on the same oil as a Cadillac, but unleaded is required for those with different valve metallurgy.
One can take a photograph with a pinhole in a simple light tight box on film, but a digital camera is the latest fad for gimmick lovers.
Merry Christmas, Tiny Tim.

Those are pretty poor comparisons. The picture quality is vastly improved with digital cameras over the first cameras, the model t will run on leaded, but not real long on unleaded without lead substitute added. Just because now we have to use a different gasoline doesn't mean its worse. Now we no longer have lead pollution along roadways, big plus for city playgrounds and the kids who play there.
With increasing digital technology there is absolutely no reason other than to begin argument/discussion abotu how everything was better back when you had to do everything through a CLI.
If you are so concerned about saving the internet, do you own little part and put back together an old 386 and use a 14.4 or less dialup modem. That way you won't be encouraging new technology by buying it, and your slow modem speeds will help do its little part by not taking very much bandwidth out of the whole connected world.

The joy of modern overcrowded madness
I guess I'm more conservative about 'improvements' since the disparities inevitably fall on the less able and less fortunate. When leaded fuel became a problem was the result of the "American Dream" of "A car in every garage and a chicken in every pot.". Yes, I can still visualize the evening haze of smog during those hot summer inversions. But maintaining the lie that luxury is standard and bare sufficiency a deprived form of poverty does not hold water.
As for bandwidth, processor speed, and modem speed, yes and no because although time is saved by faster equipment, inevitably the volume takes the advantage due to simple human nature. A faster system will process less data at a greater rate than a slower one, and a slower system will run slower, but the balance shows whether the efficiency gained is really gain or a higher volume of signal to noise ratio.
I save bandwidth by using a dialup and only going online when necessary or conveneint.

Picture of me (on the right, obviously).
I'll get a few pictures of my computer setups sometime soon and post them here. Until then, here is a landmark that I kind of live close to. :bounce:

I never know what title to put on these things!
I wasn't going to post a picture here until I found yours Howard. I'm not the only oldy. but what I want to know is how you get the actual pictures to show up in the post and not just the image link. Like yours Papa?

Picture, blah,blah,blah
:knock: I'm am very very new here but here is perspespective (maybe somewhat jaded).......
This is only my personal opinion ...on pic!!!!
I have no pic to post my pic ( I'm always taking them of , my kids anyway).....And....when the camera stops adding 20lbs to my 100+- my real weight ( I might reconsider..and this is from a gal who is never ever consider heavy by any means) !!!! That iis the female ( probably the male too) that alone because I do hate any... pics of me. As much as I hate my pic ...
I much enjoy the reactions I have to people who I meet face to face!! I am always "wowed" when guy's walk or drive by and take a "2nd" look to me face to face (and that is after...years of a x-husband saying ..who would want me" ( I guess I …get the the last laugh...who would not..hehehehhe
...as opposed to any pic anyone can modify.and emblesh....I apologize first first for any misunderstandings...Real jewels are not flawless either.. So even if someone with or without a pic ..there is some mystic to the mystery of who is behind the screen name…. I will say I am a transplant to the capital district of New York.. not homegrown here but out west.... :wave:

I'm in the process or re-furnishing my office to have the same furniture I have in my home computer room. Only done one desk so far but I'll post more pics as I near completion. As you can probably tell I still haven't cleaned my chair. PS - I resized this pic for you guys.
